Chapter 7166
With a flash of Sword Light, an elder wearing a black robe with gray hair and a youthful face suddenly appeared in front of James.
As soon as he appeared, the Alcide beings on the battlefield, who were originally ready to fight to the death, immediately knelt in reverence.
Seeing this, James narrowed his eyes into slits, his hands still clasped behind his back.
"Xalvador Douglas!" the Divine Marius murmured. Then, he quickly transmitted a message to James. "Master, this is Sir Xalvador. He is the leader of the Seven War Saints under Lord Goyo and the foremost guardian deity of the southern end of Lord Goyo’s Daonus Realm."
Receiving this message, James scrutinized the elder. Despite his calm exterior, Xalvador was surrounded by a faint black gas, his cultivation base and level of power seemingly being eroded. Blood stained the corners of his mouth, indicating severe injuries that he was trying hard to conceal.
"James!" Xalvador cupped his hands in James’ direction. "May we speak in private?"

James remained unmoved. Xalvador took a deep breath. With a wave of his hand, a dazzling jade pendant flew towards James.
Catching it, James immediately recognized its significance. It was the token of identity he had given to Harper before she left, clearly indicating a deeper meaning in Xalvador’s possession.
Seeing Xalvador's urgency, James spoke slowly, "Febby, Sir Hankin, please convey my order. No one is to act rashly without my permission."
The Divine Marius and Emperor Yevgen exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
Xalvador then sent a beam of light towards the Alcide beings on the battlefield before vanishing with James.
Atop a towering mountain peak at the edge of the Spiritual City, James and Xalvador landed simultaneously amidst flashes of purple-gold light.
Xalvador suddenly groaned and vomited a mouthful of blood. He fell to one knee, barely keeping himself upright with his longsword.
James frowned upon seeing this. The facade of strength Xalvador had maintained before the other gods now crumbled, revealing his grievous injuries.
"James," Xalvador said, his body trembling. "I don't have much time, so let's be straightforward. Can you answer a question first?"
James nodded slightly. "I can."
Xalvador endured his pain and asked, "Did you choose to ally with Emperor Qadeer out of necessity, or were you enticed by his promises?"
James responded calmly, "Is this question from you personally, or are you asking on behalf of Lord Goyo?"
